ADSR (todo)
General information
What'sThis andis adsrthe ?
Notemodulator for synthesis, the Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release envelope.
Keep in mind that every parameter of the envelope can be modulated, except for the ones in the Settings tab
All values are shown in %. Time values depend on the Range settings and typically go from XXX to XXX seconds.
ADSR Tab
The ADSR tab has two pages that you can navigate by pressing its corresponding button (button 1)
Page 1 lets you modify (and modulate) the envelope times:
| Attack | Decay | Sustain | Release |
|
Set the time it takes for the envelope to reach its highest level, after the gate goes high (or the key is pressed in the case of MIDI) |
Set the time it takes for the envelope to go down to the Sustain level, after the Attack stage is completed and while the gate remains high (or the key stays pressed in the case of MIDI) | Set the level at which the envelope will stay as long as the gate is high (or while the key stays pressed in the case of MIDI) | Set the time it takes for the envelope to go back to its lowest level, after the gate goes low (or the key is released in the case of MIDI) If the gate goes low before the Decay (or Attack) stage is completed, the envelope will directly start the Release stage from the level it was at when the gate went low, effectively skipping the Sustain stage (or the Decay and Sustain stages) |
Page 2 lets you modify (and modulate) the envelope curves:
| Curve A | Curve B | - | Curve C |
|
Set the curve of the Attack stage, from Logarithmic to Linear to Exponential |
Set the curve of the Decay stage, from Exponential to Linear to Logarithmic | - | Set the curve of the Decay stage, from Exponential to Linear to Logarithmic |
Delay/Hold Tab
In this tab you can add segments to the ADSR envelope:
| Predelay | Hold | - | - |
|
Set the time it takes for the Attack stage to start ramping up after the gate goes high (or the key is pressed in the case of MIDI) |
Set the time during which the envelope is held at its maximum value, after the Attack stage is completed and before the Decay stage starts | - | - |
Settings Tab
In this tab you will find settings for the envelope behavior. Those settings cannot be modulated.
| Trigger | Mode | Range | Retrig |
| Select the source used to launch the envelope. It can be: - turned off - any of the 6 Gate inputs - set to launch whenever the voice is triggered (see the Voice Control section) - MIDI Clock signals |
Select how the envelope responds to gate signals. Gate is the classic mode of operation. Trigger means the Sustain stage is is not held, and the envelope goes into Release when Decay has ended (or when the gate goes low) Loop means the envelope will cycle like a free LFO Gated Loop means the envelope looping will be reset to the beginning of the Attack phase every time the gate goes high |

Output Tab
A final gain stage for the envelope, can be modulated:
| Gain | - | - | - |
|
Set the amplitude of the envelope signal. A typical target for Velocity modulation. |
